settlement of the Crown of Sueden upon him and his posterity for ever This was the result of their debates and thus it was resolved unanimously at the Council held at Orebrogia that it should be propounded by them to the Convention of States that it might be confirmed for future ages All which by an Instrument under their hands they professed to be done by them freely and of their own accord without any constraint Indeed the Kings Enemies scoffed hereat as if he had suffered a Crown to be forced upon his Family against his will Others pretended Religion against it as if God liked not that men should contrive perpetuities which is true yet doth he like that men should be provident in establishing Justice Truth and Peace in a Nation for which end himself did settle the Crown upon the Family of David and hath blessed the same Rule in the Government of most Kingdomes with prosperous success though not alwayes precisely fixing upon the same person that men design thereto But whatsoever was said its clear that the Kings desire was not very eager upon it for that he summoned not a Convention of States of four years after and then at Westerass the point was debated anew the result whereof was this Act That after the death of Gustavus Ericson his Son shall succeed in the Government and his eldest Son and the Heirs male of his body and for want of such his second Brother and his Heirs male of his body and for want of such John the second Son of Gustavus and his Heirs male of his body shall succeed and so the rest of the Sons of Gustavus and their Heirs male of their bodies and in case of want of Heirs males of the Sons of Gustavus the eldest of the blood and Family of Gustavus shall succeed and his issue male and for want of such then shall such person succeed as the Council of the Kingdome of Sueden shall elect provided he be no Forreigner and that he shall provide Portions for the issue female of Gustavus The Council of States did herein as wise men that steer their course by Rule and yet still leave to God his supream controle who also in this case overruled their rule as to the succession of the posterity in Ericus his line which was afterwards laid aside by the people Ericus being found false to the Principles of Governme●t established by his Father and the Convention of States and yet God owned Gustavus his Family so far as to build him a sure house who had built Gods house by raising from thence many brave men both for War and Peace and made it the brightest Constellation of all the Northern Hemisphere to have an influence not onely within the Kingdome of Sueden but into the general affairs of Europe But as Gustavus his House grows in their hopes so Christian the deposed King loseth in his The Emperour being intent upon his Wars with France found it necessary to quiet his affairs in Germany and therefore amongst other things at the Convention at Spires the difference between him and Christian the third King of Denmark came under debate and was settled and Christian the second the Emperours brother in law was after fourteen years of imprisonment left still to be a Prisoner who seeing himself now quite neglected by his chief friends bethought himself how he might make his Captivity seeing it must be his condition as easie as he could and for that end he actually surrendred all his right and the right of all his posterity in the Crown of Denmark and the Dukedomes of Holst and Sleswick in as ample manner as could be devised and thereby indeed he obtained though not a release from yet more liberty in his prison The Title of Sueden was not at all mentioned neither did the Suedes require any resignation nor would acknowledge any Title Yet the Emperour was willing enough to countenance any quarrel that was picked against the King of Sueden as appeared in the business of the Elector Palatine and the Duke of Lorain touching their Nieces Dowry which as they pretended the Kingdome of Sueden ought to take care of but the matter went no further than words The claim was published in Print and so was the King of Suedens answer also who denied the matter of fact and alledged that if any thing had been formerly due it was made null by that inhumane Tyranny whereby Christian forfeited all his rights in Sueden for himself and posterity declaring also that now the publick Revenues of the Crown of Sueden were otherwise setled and could not be altered A while after the King of Suedens second wife dyed leaving three sons and four daughters Her eldest son John was afterwards King of Sueden when his eldest brother Ericus was deposed by the people for his misgovernment Her second son Magnus was Duke of East-Gothland Her third son Charles was Duke of Sudermania who afterwards was King upon the deposing of his Nephew Sigismund first King of Poland and after Crowned also King of Sueden but after a while was ejected by the people because he would not maintan the Liberties of Sueden but sought to advance the Polish interest After the death of this Charles his son Gustavus Adolphus succeeded in the Kingdome whose Life I have also written and after him his Daughter Christina who resigning the Government Charles Gustavus son of Katherine daughter to Charles and half sister to Gustavus Adolphus married to one of the house of Casimire succeeded who lately dying left an Infant in the Throne since when Christina would willingly have reassumed the Government but was rejected by the States the rather because she was turned Papist who reserve the Kingdome for the son of Charles A brave posterity doubtless yet the King though now stricken in years could not live unmarried but took a third wife Katherine daughter to Gustavus Governour of West-Gothland The Wisdome Courage and prosperous success of Gustavus being now famous amongst other Nations occasioned sundry applications to be made to him for assistance but he was ever wary of moving out of his own sphere It s an excellent point of skill in a Commander to know when his strength hath attained its just bounds of Conquest and there stopping his desires of gaining more to fix upon the good Government of what he hath already gotten It was one of the last counsels given by Augustus to Tyberius that he should not endeavour to enlarge the bounds of the Empire lest he should meet with more difficulty in keeping and less in losing what was gained For the larger the borders are the more opportunity is given for invasion from abroad and for rebellion at home The wisdome and moderation therefore of Gustavus is to be commended for though he wanted not men of War nor hope of success in further undertakings yet having adventured for the delivery of his Country from Tyranny and accomplished it he desired no

hands the Patronage was supposed to rest some of the Religious Inhabitants valuing the means of Grace above all their other outward enjoyments cast their eyes and thoughts upon Mr. Gataker to gain whom to their own intreaties they added the mediation of his good Friend Mr. Richard Stock who when he had by many reasons remonstrated unto him that God did give him a clear call to that place whose honour and Ordinances might suffer prejudice by the intrusion of an unworthy man if he should refuse the call he at last suffered himself to be perswaded and prevailed with to undertake that charge which being represented to Sir Henry Hobart the Kings Atturney General by Mr. Randolph Crew afterwards Lord Chief Justice Sir Henry that before favoured other pretensions to gratifie some Tenants of his in that Parish yet now did readily imbrace the motion concerning the setling of Mr. Gataker there according to his own contentment and withall wrote a Letter to the Bishop for the removal of all obstructions that lay in the way or that might hinder his acceptance of the presentation of Mr. Gataker which being signed with all the hands of the three brethren who had right to that Advocation was tendred on his behalf The report of this his removal was no welcome news to many of that Honourable Society who would fain have retained him and some of them offered an enlargement of his maintenance for an argument to keep him and others of them represented the consistence of both imployments by the help of an assistant But he that made not his Ministry a meer trade of living here as Gregory Nazianzene complained that some did in his time and too many do in our times would not multiply his burdens when he deemed himself unfit for the least and would not suffer himself to be wrought to any other resolution Therefore Anno Christi 1611 commending his former charge to the Grace of God he betook himself to the sole attendance of that Flock of which now the Holy Ghost had made him the Overseer and his industry in the discharge of his duty there was both constant and great notwithstanding that he was almost perpetually troubled with the head-ache wherewith God had exercised him from his very youth and for which he had only this poor comfort from his Physician Dr. Goulston his singular good friend with whom he communicated his studies upon Galen and to whom he contributed his assistance for the Edition of some parts of Galen who often told him that the incurable disease of age would be the onely remedy of his distemper because together with the abatement of natural heat his indisposition would grow less vigorous and violent To the work of his Ministry in publick upon the Sabbaths he added a Catechetical weekly Lecture on Fridays in the evening which was designed by him to lay the foundation of saving knowledge in the hearts of the children of whom a certain number every Lecture day did give an account of their knowledge by set Answers to Questions delivered out to them aforehand for their instruction this course of holding a form of sound words agreeable to the Doctrine of the Gospel consigned in holy Writ of what importance it is we may gather from that ignorance and those errours which have invaded the Church in these our times which mischiefs can hardly be imputed to any thing so much as to the neglect of that usefull duty of Catechizing But that exercise was performed by him with such an accurate and methodical explication of the whole Body of Divinity that Christians of riper years and of long standing in Christs School did resort to be partakers of those discourses wherein their well-exercised senses did find not only milk fit for babes but also solid meat suitable to grown men in Christ. This course he continued till he had compleated a pefect Summary of Divinity and gave it over when he saw that the least part of his Auditory consisted of those for whose sakes he principally intended this work his Parishoners being grown at least to a neglect of his free labours in that kinde Mr. Gatakers constant retirement in his study caused him to make choise of an help meet for him that might oversee his Family which was a necessary act of prudence and therefore not long before he left Lincolns Inne he married the widow of Mr. William Cupp to whose two daughters he was so providently kinde in their education that he disposed of them in marriage to two Divines of note in the Church and continued such a fatherly love to them and theirs that the world mistook them for his own children That wife dyed in child-bed of a son that did bear the Fathers name who after that he had seen the most remote parts of the world wherewith we keep commerce returned home to his Father and dyed in peace The same motive still being in force he after a decent interval of widow-hood chose for himself the daughter of a Reverend Minister Mr. Charles Pinner who was brought up in the worthy and religious Family of Mr. Ellis Crisp brother to Mrs. Pinner and it pleased God to give him a Son by her whom in process of time he dedicated unto God in the work of the Ministry but immediately to take away the mother so that the mothers Funerals and the childes Baptisme were celebrated together Thus our wise and gracious Father tempers the cup for his children lest they should surfet upon earthly enjoyments as they might easily do if they were unmixed with occasions of sorrow Then did Mr. Gataker remain for many years in a disconsolate condition till at last he adventured and married a Gentlewoman of a very considerable Family being sister to Sir George and Sir John Farwell and a good esteem for knowledge and piety By her he had three children whereof a son and a daughter were carried to the ground before their mother but the third yet lives to walk by the light of her Fathers life and Doctrine This his third wife being of a contemplative minde fell into a consumption which so wasted her body that her soul took its flight from thence into Heaven Last of all he took to wife a Citizens widow whose comfortable conversation he enjoyed for the space of four and twenty years but without any issue by her His love to her was one motive that induced him to remove out of his Parsonage house into another habitation of his own revenue For supposing that she might survive him he would make a convenient provision for her that she might not be subject to the curtesie of another for her removal and that affection extended it self in his great liberality to many of 〈◊〉 kindred that were in need of help and support from him and that both in her life time and since her decease He survived her two years within a few dayes and because he numbred his dayes with wisdome and

University being a means to set up Lectures in many of them and very often assisting in them and as our Savior is observed by some Divines to have preached more frequently the nearer he was to his departure so this his faithful servant as it were presaging that his day would be but short towards his evening he made the more haste and speed in his journy towards his end and yet more abounded in this work of the Lord and now findes That his labour is not in vain in the Lord 1 Cor. 15. 58. Thus of him as a Minister And lastly as he was a Christian he was active for God as his Saviour Act. 10. 38. Going up and down and doing good and though otherwise modest yet when the case required it bold in a good cause He was spiritual in communion and a quickner of those with whom he conversed Fruitful in discourse by which the frame of his spirit might easily be discovered Frequent in asking questions which was both his humility and Christian good husbandry thereby to improve himselfe his time and company Affable he was to others of much humility and low thoughts of himself and of great integrity and singleness of heart towards God his Truth Ordinances wayes and servants of a very publick spirit and much affected with the various conditions of the State but especially of the Church and people of God He was a most loving Husband to his wife and a dutiful son to his Parents and in his life time very helpful to his other Relations Many poor both of the University and Town do now feel the want of his bounty which they tasted of in his life time and both they and others had done more at his death as appeared by his intentions of it in the draught of his Will had not the suddenness of his change prevented it In a long continued Quartan God had knocked at his door which in the interim of his recovery awakened him to get all within ready against the coming of his Lord which though to his friends was unexpected yet found not him unprepared In his short sickness he expressed to an intimate Friend his great comfort and joy in Gods discriminating electing-love and to a Reverend Doctor about half an hour before his departure who enquired of him about the setling of his outward estate and inward peace he readily and without the least hesitancy answered that thro●gh the mercy of God in Christ his peace was made and that he quietly rested in it whereby it seems as was said by one he had his Faith at his fingers ends and having before given all diligence to make his calling and election sure though he was somewhat suddenly called out of this life yet had he an abundant entrance set open to him into the everlasting Kingdome of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ departing quietly in the Lord Decem. 18. 1653. As to himself he had lived a fruitful and gracious life and therefore as Clemens Romanus speaks of some of the first and best Bishops he closed up all with a happy and blessed death and as to others he lived approved and dyed desired and very much lamented He was a great Friend to the publication of the lives of godly and eminent Ministers and Christians and assisting to me in procuring information concerning the Lives of some of those Worthies whom I have formerly printed Dr. WILLIAM GOUGE The Life and Death of Dr. Gouge who dyed Anno Christi 1653. WIlliam Gouge was born in Stratford-Bow in the County of Middlesex Novem. 1. Anno 1575. His Father Mr. Thomas Gouge was a godly Gentleman His Mother was the vertuous and pious Daughter of Mr. Nicholas Culverel a Merchant in London and she was sister to those two famous Preachers Mr. Samuel and Mr. Ezekiel Culverel she had also two sisters who were married to those two famous and learned Divines Dr. Chaderton the Master of Emanuel College in Cambridge and Dr. Whitaker the Regius Professor of Divinity in the same University so that by the Mothers side he came of a stock of eminent Preachers Our William Gouge in his younger years was first trained up in Pauls School London and was afterwards sent to a Free-school at Felsted in Essex where he was trained up three years under the publick Ministry of his Uncle Mr. Ezekiel Culverel by whose labours he was much wrought upon and if not first begotten yet much built up in his holy Faith as himself often expressed From thence he was sent to Eaton where he was educated other six years during all which time he was more than ordinarily studious and industrious for when other boyes upon play-dayes took liverty for their sports and pastimes he would be at his book wherein he took more delight than others could finde in their Recreations whereby he profited beyond many his equals At this time whilst he was a Schollar at Eaton he was possessed with an holy fear of God was conscionable in secret prayer and in sanctifying the Sabbaths and was much grieved at the ordinary prophanation thereof by sports and pastimes which were then and there too much allowed as he did oft-times in his life with much thankfulness unto God express From the School at Eaton he was chosen to Kings College in Cambridge whither he went Anno Christi 1595. and at the first entrance of his studies he applied himself to P. Ramus his Logick and grew so expert therein that in the publick Schools he maintained and defended him insomuch as when on a time divers Sophisters set themselves to vilifie Ramus for which end the Respondent had given this question Nunquam erit magnus cui Ramus est magnus which some of the Sophisters hearing and knowing the said William Gouge to be an accute disputant and a stiff defender of Ramus they went to the Divinity Schools where he was then hearing an Act and told him how in the other Schools they were abusing Ramus he thereupon went into the Sophisters Schooles and upon the Moderators calling for another Opponent he stepped up and brought such an argument as stumbled the Respondent whereupon the Moderator took upon him to answer it but could not satisfie the doubt This occasioned a Sophister that stood by to say with a loud voice Do you come to vilifie Ramus and cannot answer the Argument of a Ramist Whereupon the Moderator rose up and gave him a box on the ear then the School was all on an uproar but the said William Gouge was safely conveyed out from amongst them When he was Senior Sophister he was chosen Moderator of the Sophisters Acts in the publick Schools which was a place of great credit and he began every Act with a solemn speech in Latine which was not usual in those dayes and it added much grace to the Act. The said William Gouge took his degrees in order performing for every one of them all those
